Abstract
On the basis of the outcomes of numerous prior researches, there has been an inconclusive debate about who should be responsible for correcting learners’ errors in a foreign language. Much attention has been devoted to the claim that teachers should not exclusively bear the responsibility for correcting learners’ errors. Up to the present time, there has been a rapidly growing tendency to abandon the traditional teacher-centred correction, but rather to educate, stimulate, and actively involve learners in the process of learning a foreign language. The main argument supporting this tendency emphasises that learners are supposed to complement their teacher’s role as a corrector with the hope to create a positive, supporting, and cooperative learning environment. In this study, the most important question under discussion is what are high school learners’ attitudes and beliefs toward peer correction in a foreign language. The results suggest that learners strongly appreciate the correction provided by the teacher, but still, seem to acknowledge the beneficial impact of peer feedback. However, the preference for teacher over peer correction should not come as a surprise, especially because the analysed data revealed seldom or even non-existent implementation of the peer correction techniques in foreign language classrooms. On these grounds, another important question can be raised: Would learners estimate correction by their peers as more valuable, if they were offered more opportunities to conduct it in class?
Abstract (croatian)
S obzirom na ishode mnogobrojnih prethodnih istraživanja, pitanje odgovornosti za ispravljanje grešaka u stranom jeziku je nezaobilazno. Mnogo pažnje posvećeno je tvrdnji da učitelj nije isključivi nositelj odgovornosti za ispravljanje grešaka svojih učenika. Sve do danas, izražena je velika težnja za napuštanjem tradicionalnog ispravljanja gdje učitelj predstavlja centralnu ulogu. Umjesto toga, učitelj bi trebao educirati, stimulirati i aktivno uključiti učenike u proces učenja stranog jezika. Kao glavni argument za ovakvu težnju možemo naglasiti očekivanje da učenik nadopuni učiteljevu ulogu u ispravljanju uz nadu da će tako stvoriti pozitivnu i kooperativnu klimu u svom razredu. Najbitnije pitanje u ovom istraživanju je kakvi su stavovi i vjerovanja srednjoškolaca prema vršnjačkom ispravljanju u stranom jeziku. Analizirani rezultati ističu da učenici naglašavaju iznimnu važnost ispravka od strane učitelja, ali također cijene pozitivni utjecaj vršnjačkog ispravljanja na njihov proces učenja. Kako god, snažna orijentiranost prema učiteljevom ispravku ne čudi zbog činjenice da se, prema analiziranim rezultatima, tehnike vršnjačkog ispravljanja rijetko ili nikad primjenjuju u nastavi stranog jezika. S obzirom na to, možemo postaviti drugo bitno pitanje: Bi li učenici smatrali vršnjačko ispravljanje korisnijim, da češće imaju priliku provoditi ga na satu stranog jezika?
